...draw the cover, we called on Cartoonist Paul Conrad, who is not much of a racing fan but has a keen eye for political horseflesh. Although this is his first magazine cover, his witty vignettes have often appeared in TIME'S pages. At 42, one of the country's top editorial cartoonists, Conrad has his home base at the Los Angeles Times, but 150 other newspapers use his work, which illustrates Aldous Huxley's observation that caricature is the "most penetrating" of criticism...

...Your review of the Conniff-Considine-Jackie Kennedy love affair [March 24] neglected one thing: to name Considine the alltime top fan-magazine writer. If that series wasn't pure fan-book output, with its sappy descriptive reporting and maudlin handling, then this commentary deserves a Pulitzer Prize nomination at least...
